The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:

• Weather describes what is happening in the Earth's atmosphere on any given day, such as sunny, windy, rainy, or snowy conditions.
• The sun is the main factor that drives the Earth's weather systems by warming the surface and the air above it.
• Weather occurs in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface.
• The four main factors that affect weather are temperature, humidity, air movement, and air pressure.
• A thermometer is the tool used to measure temperature, which tells how hot or cold the air is.
• Clouds are made of millions of tiny water droplets that have condensed from water vapor in the air.
• Precipitation is water that falls from the sky to the ground, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
• When the air in a cloud is below freezing, the water droplets turn into ice crystals that fall as snow.
• High air pressure usually brings clear skies, while low air pressure often brings clouds and rain.
• Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, which indicates how wet or dry it feels outside.
• Rain is the most common form of precipitation, where water droplets in clouds grow heavy and fall.
• Wind is the movement of air, and fast wind is often associated with storms while calm air means little wind.
